KHARTOUM (Halbeeg News) – The head of the Sudanese National Intelligence and Security Services (NISS) Salah Abdallah Mohamed Saleh has resigned.
Head of Sudan’s transitional military council Lieutenant General Abdel Fattah al-Burhan accepted the resignation of the NISS chief, Sudan News Agency reported on Saturday.
The resignation came one day after Defense Minister Ahmed Awad Ibn Auf — who announced the president’s ouster — quit as head of the military council and appointed Burhan in his place.
On Thursday, Sudan’s military deposed President Omar al-Bashir, who has ruled Sudan since 1989, following months of popular protests against his rule.
The military also established a military council to run the country for a transitional period of two years.
